Threat of massive chemical tank explosion is 'eliminated', California officials say

California fire officials confirmed on May 25, 2026 that the risk of a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) from a damaged methyl methacrylate storage tank at GKN Aerospace's Garden Grove, Orange County facility has been eliminated following overnight emergency operations. Roughly 50,000 residents across six nearby southern California cities remain under evacuation orders as a precaution, with a state of emergency declared by Governor Gavin Newsom, and crews continuing to monitor the tank for potential leaks.
